The defining trait here is age and its consequences. A median year built of 1963 with an inventory reaching from 1912 to 2024 means two homes on the same street can be more than a century apart. That range shows up in everything that matters to cost of ownership — systems, foundations, insurability, and how much updating a given home has already absorbed. Read each listing for what has actually been done, not just when it was built.

At a median living area near 1,368 square feet, this is a market of smaller footprints. Homestead exemption applies to just under half the homes here, which points to a meaningful share of properties held as something other than a primary residence. That mix tends to keep a steady flow of both owner-occupant and investment-minded interest, and it means condition and rental-readiness both come into play when a home trades.

In a pocket this small with this wide an age range, comps are only a starting point — the real work is reading condition, renovation history, and what an older structure will actually cost to own. We underwrite each home on its own terms rather than leaning on a blanket price-per-foot, and we will tell you plainly when a charming facade is hiding a project.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
